    Amp Wiring Check

    I've gathered a lot of information from the site about wiring my new stereo properly, but I wanted to run my ideas by you guys to make sure I've covered everything.

    The system will consist of an Alpine 4.100 and an Alpine PDX-5. I currently have 2 batteries hooked up on a perko switch.

    All wire marine grade pre-tinned.

    1/0 gauge power wire from the common post on the switch thru a fuse, then to the amps, with a fused distribution block just before them.

    1/0 gauge ground wire back to the battery I want to run the stereo on. Or should I run it to the location where all of the batteries are grounded?

    Source unit power and ground run to the amps power source, not wiring harness.

    Also considering adding a ProSport 20 dual bank charger as many people have suggested.

    Thanks for the help all.

    Why run the 1/0 power to the perko?

      I read a post from David at Earmark that suggested this.
